An overview of the group "Heritage and Modernity". Un aperçu du groupe «Héritage et Modernité» Photo : Gabonreview English Version Here is the letter that a friend of this blog sent us; its relevance leads us to share it with you. Hello dear brother, I'm fine and the whole family as well. I hope it is the same for you. We are living a lot of developments in the country and I feel a great thrill. We have experienced a hot parliamentary week. To the point that my wife, watching the TV news called me from another room in the house to come and look, believing that opposition MPs were "bombing" the emergence in the National Assembly. I told her that there were no more than 3 members of the opposition in there but they were freelancers. It was really delightful to see that !!! Then came the sensational outburst of Alexandre Barro Chambrier. Another delicious moment that coolly showered the emergents. A week where the emerge...

English Version Leaders of nations depend on the trust and loyalty of their populations. Why would a leader lie, when they understand the negative consequences of being caught in that lie? Usually it is to advance an agenda, or support a decision that cannot stand up to scrutiny based on the truth. Once the first lie has been told, it is downhill from there. Ultimately, the truth ends up being established and winning the day, no matter how long it takes. The first lie sets the stage for bad things happen after that. Lying is contagious as to justify and defend Ali Bongo’s lies, his collaborators have to lie in return; and this lying spreads like a virus, contaminating the entire administration. That the services of Nantes recently delivered a receipt of a birth certificate to Ali Bongo is almost beside the point, since he has already lied so much that the court of public opinion has already tried and convicted him on the basis of what they know to be the truth. Ali ...

English version Ali Bongo and his regime lie in the routine performance of their duties, and their numerous ethical and moral transgressions occur across all levels of the country leadership. These people have been lying for so long that they have become ethically numb, using justifications and rationalizations to try to overcome any situation. This tacit acceptance of dishonesty by those who claim that the production of the receipt of a birth certificate by the Nantes authorities, to Ali Bongo, should close the constitutional debate, facilitates the hypocrisy that is so rampant among the leadership in Gabon. Ali Bongo’s constant dishonesty is a devastating demonstration of the type of characters who lead the country. We have literally a person without clear credentials, leading a nation. This is unacceptable. 1. He used fake papers in his application for the presidential election. Is that acceptable? 2. His alleged mother told a false story of him being born ...

English version According to la Lettre du Continent, the receipt of birth certificate released by the Central Department of Civil Status of Foreign Affairs (MFA), based in Nantes, may have thrown confusion into the controversy of Ali Bongo’s filiation. The catch in all this is the same French MFA department that had so far said that this document did not exist in its archives; and more problematic, Ali Bongo himself had never produced such a document. Gabonese NGOs now ask for full access to this birth certificate. Another curious fact, according to La Lettre du continent, is that this signed document by the civil state officer Laurence Bourdeau, was published shortly after Ali Bongo’s visit to the Paris Air Show. There seems to be a collusion between this birth document and the lobbying of the Gabonese presidency on Manuel Valls and Dominique Strauss-Kahn’s networks. Ali Bongo would have asked to meet with the French Prime Minister on June 16. To accomplish this, Ali...

Photo: Le Monde ENQUÊTE Gabon : Ali Bongo est-il bien le fils d’Omar ? A l’origine de la controverse qui dure depuis des mois à Libreville, le livre (paru en octobre 2014) du journaliste français Pierre Péan, Nouvelles affaires africaines, selon lequel M. Bongo aurait falsifié son acte de naissance et serait en fait un enfant nigérian adopté pendant la guerre du Biafra, à la fin des années 1960 ; ce que la présidence — qui a porté plainte contre le journaliste — réfute. Or, l’article 10 de la Constitution stipule qu’il faut être né gabonais pour briguer la présidence, le prochain scrutin présidentiel étant prévu en 2016. Un argument aussitôt brandi par l’opposition pour demander au président, élu après le décès de son père, de prouver qu’il est bien le fils biologique d’Omar Bongo Ondimba, faute de quoi il serait inéligible à la présidentielle. Le feuilleton s’est poursuivi depuis : après une plainte de l’opposition — rejetée par la justice gabonaise à la fin ...

Photo: Daniel Mengara LA DISTANCE AVEC LA VERITE Mesdames, Messieurs, En réponse à de nombreux compatriotes, qui ont requis son intervention sur la question relative à la situation administrative du chef de l’état, le Service central d’état civil de Nantes vient de délivrer un extrait d’acte de naissance, ainsi libellé : Le 9 février 1959 à 1 heures 45 minutes … est né à Brazzaville (Afrique Equatoriale Française) Alain – Bernard --- Bongo --- du sexe masculin --- Extrait délivré selon le procédé informatisé. Nantes, le 18 juin 2015. Fin de citation. Portant sur une question d’intérêt national, cet extrait d’acte de naissance qui interroge la procédure engagée par mes soins devant la Haute Cour de Justice, pose tout le problème de la distance de ses énonciations avec la vérité. LA SAISINE DE LA HAUTE COUR DE JUSTICE A L’EPREUVE DE L’EXTRAIT D’ACTE DE NAISSANCE Pour documenter son dossier de candidature à l’élection du Président de la République, Ali BON...

English version In December 2014, while the price of a barrel of oil was declining and that the rating agency Fitch had lowered its assessment of the economic health of Gabon, Regis Immongault, the Gabonese Minister of Economy, stated that: "Gabon is prepared to sustain the shock of oil prices without major impact. According to our simulations, the growth of the economy will remain strong next year, despite a sustained fall in oil prices; the forecast growth of Gabon will be 5.7%. Even at 65 dollars a barrel, growth would remain strong, at 5%." But today the government to which Régis Immongault belongs, has cut its growth estimate of Gabon to 4.8%; that is to say well below Regis Immongault’s forecast. What does he say now? Economics is a science; and in science only facts are relevant! Version française En décembre 2014, alors que le cours du baril de pétrole périclitait et que l’agence de notation Fitch abaissait son évaluation de la santé économiq...

NANTES VIENT DE COULER ALI BONGO Il faut recadrer le débat. Il s'agit pour le service d'Etat civil de Nantes de fournir ou de produire un extrait de l'acte de naissance d'Ali Bongo Ondimba tel qu'il a été établi à Brazzaville lors de sa naissance par le Maire de cette ville en 1959. Et non de l'établissement d'un nouvel extrait d'acte de naissance par les autorités nantaises en 2015! La compétence d'attribution du service central de Nantes est justifiée en l'espèce par la naissance supposée d'Ali Bongo Ondimba à Brazzaville en 1959 sur le territoire de l'Afrique Equatoriale française. C'est dans cette ville où sont archivés toutes les pièces d'Etat civil des personnes nées soit dans l'AEF soit dans l'AOF, c'est à dire avant l'indépendance de ces territoires d'Outre-mer. Or, Brazzaville (territoire du Congo) avait l'avantage d'être la capitale de l'AEF et donc un centre d...

The Nantes document Le document de Nantes English version The colonial archives of French Equatorial Africa (AEF) in Nantes, just delivered to the public a receipt of a document confirming the birth in Brazzaville in 1959 of one Alain Bongo. We do not have the entire receipt before us, to make a comprehensive analysis of it; but we can already tell you that we laughing because it's another layer of falsehood that is added to the lie and we reserve our analyzes to when we will have the entire document before us! But dear readers, you are faced with the reasons of State! Nothing more, nothing less. When you understand this, you understand better why Andre Mba Obame had to die and who had an interest in his disappearance more quickly and in a way as effectively "poisoned"! We will return to the topic! Version française Les archives coloniales de l’Afrique France Equatoriale Française (AEF) à Nantes, viennent de livrer au public un récép...

English version Ali Bongo is at home in Paris. On 15 June, the President of Gabon was at Le Bourget. At the opening of the air show, he attended, alongside Holland, a demonstration of the Rafale. The French head of state leans his counterpart and casually said, smiling: "As expected, they will give you a deal!” That evening, as evidenced by the private program of the visit of Bongo, a document available to Le Canard, the Gabonese dined at the Hotel de Brienne with the Minister of Defense, Jean-Yves Le Drian. The next day, after spending a relaxing night in a palace of Kleber Avenue, an underground station away from the vast apartments that the Bongo family owns on Avenue Foch, the Gabonese head of state continued his tour. He had lunch with the journalistic leadership of the Lagardère Media Group: the bosses of Paris Match editorial board, the Journal Du Dimanche and Europe 1. At snack time, he had tea with Marie Christine Sarragosse, president of France Médias ...
